Jr. Beta members are sponsoring a Food Drive November 8 - 19. There will be two boxes placed in the rotunda, one for Carolina and one for Clemson. Students are asked to bring non-perishable food items, designating which team they want to support (Carolina or Clemson). Students will receive a ticket for every item they donate. Students will write their name and their homeroom teacher's name on each ticket and place in the Carolina or Clemson drop-box during lunch. One student's name will be drawn from each drop-box and the winners will be announced on November 23 - each winner will receive an "Ultimate Fan Basket." To celebrate - ALL students will be allowed to wear Carolina or Clemson attire on November 23. Food Drive items will be donated for Thanksgiving to local food banks. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Nicky Morgan, Lead Sponsor.

Pay $2 in Homeroom on each Friday. You MUST follow school district dress code policy; NO crocs; NO open-toed shoes; NO holes above the knee; NO crop tops.
